Phlox

We must have grown many tens of thousands of Phlox over the years! They are ever-popular, easy to grow and loved for their late spring flowers which can smother the plant with barely a leaf to be seen. Nearly all prefer a sunny position and any well-drained soil will make them happy. Many of them have very fragrant flowers as a bonus. Read more

Phlox douglasii types make small, very neat mats, and produce masses of flowers. Most are ideal in troughs or where they won't get outgrown by more vigorous plants on a rock garden. They are extremely hardy anywhere in the UK.

All Phlox may be trimmed if they get too big - trim immediately after flowering. They can be be cut back quite severely and recover well. Normally, they are very low (or zero) maintenance plants.
